“Did anyone consider that this is probably fake? Seriously, if you were Iran, and you had the ability to decryption top secret US encryption, would you go announce to the world that you could? All that would do would be to prompt your enemy to change the way they do things, and you would lose your ability to see their data.”

Looking at that video and comparing it to what Nova showed on its documentary on Drones, I would say it was footage from technology that is inferior to what is possible now. Now we have technology that will pinpoint one person in an entire city and back-track him back to the house he came out of 8 hours before. So, let’s say an IED blows up one of our soldiers. A drone will capture the IED blowing up, back-track to the time the IED was planted and follow the person who planted the IED back in time to the house they came from. Imagine an entire city under surveillance from 5,000 feet with definition of one foot. Such files will go for weeks on end.
